Question
One card is drawn from a well shuffled deck of 52 cards. Find the probability of getting a face card
Solution
Total no. of possible outcomes = 52 (52 cards)
E ⟶ event of getting face card
No. of favourable outcomes = 12 {4 kings, 4 queens & 4 jacks}
P(E), =`"No.of favorable outcomes"/"Total no.of possible outcomes"`
P(E) =12/52 =3/13
